Kings for a Day - Football's Giant Killers - focuses on the unique David vs. Goliath aspect of The FA Cup.

The show, to be broadcast on FA Cup Final day as part of ESPN's build-up to its live coverage of that match, features interviews with the likes of FA Cup giantkillers Ronnie Radford and Vinnie Jones plus legendary FA Cup commentator John Motson.
